Events A Jewish Meditation Weekend

June 1-3, 2007

with Rabbi Jeff Roth

at the Wellspring Conference Center in Germantown, MD

Join Rabbi Jeff Roth for a meditation retreat weekend offering the opportunity to experience a practice which thousands of people have found transformative and life enhancing. Learn practices that result in greater clarity and wisdom, open the heart of compassion and lead to greater happiness.

Participants will enhance their skills in a range of meditative techniques. These include concentration techniques, contemplative prayer chants, mindfulness meditation, the path of blessing, walking and eating meditation and practices that cultivate joy.

This retreat is designed to show experientially how a regular Jewish meditation practice can help cultivate awareness in all aspects of daily life. The program will present a model for using the Sabbath as a weekly anchor for formal practice that reminds us of the possibility of bringing our awareness to a meeting of the Divine Presence in every moment.

The retreat is conducted in social silence which means refraining from conversation with other participants at all times. There will be group times for questions and answers. Rabbi Roth will provide instructions for all practices as well as present relevant didactic material.

The silence of these retreats allows for a settling of the mind as well as an in depth look at ones experience of life in each moment. In meeting the present moment, the opportunity to meet the Divine Presence manifests.

The retreat will be held at Wellspring Conference Center, 11411 Church Road, Germantown, MD (Google Maps). Wellspring is surrounded by 100 acres of nature. All meals are vegetarian.

The cost for the weekend:

$180 (double occupancy, includes six meals)
$230 (single, includes six meals)
$100 (commuter, includes six meals)
